MMWD to Install New Pipeline in Larkspur and Corte Madera

In September MMWD will install new pipeline in various streets in Larkspur and Corte Madera including William Avenue, Pepper Avenue, Bayview Avenue, Alexander Avenue and Elm Avenue .

This project will replace 80 to 90 year old leak-prone pipe and is being coordinated with upcoming paving projects in the City of Larkspur and Town of Corte Madera. MMWD expects the pipeline replacement project to be completed in March 2018.

MMWD and the contractor, Maggiora & Ghilotti, Inc., will take all measures possible to minimize inconveniences associated with this project, including noise and traffic delays.

MMWD is Marin County’s largest provider of drinking water, serving a population of 189,900 in a 147-square-mile area of south and central Marin County. The district owns and manages 21,600 acres of watershed land on Mt. Tamalpais and in west Marin. The primary source of water supply is rainfall captured in seven reservoirs, providing 75 percent of the water consumed each year. The remaining 25 percent is imported annually from the Russian River through an agreement with the Sonoma County Water Agency. MMWD also operates its own recycled water system. District operations are financed primarily by revenue from the sale of water.
